Cincinnati Horse and Mule Market.
CINCINNATI, March -.
During the past week business was active
and all kinds of good stock sold readily
at good prices. The supply was not so
large rs the previous week and considerably
short of meeting the demand. A demand
for fine saddle and driving horses has
sprung up, and good prices are realized,
occasionally higher than the quotations
for this class of stock. We quote sad
die aud driving horses at Sl5Oa25O; |
draft horses, $l75a22j, street car horses,
$l00al25; Southern chunks S75alOO.
